so they went out and bought themselves a generator. >> seems like a really good idea, but liz crenshaw joins us with a reminder about how dangerous generators can be if you don't use them properly. plus what you need to understand about insurance and hurricanes. too late now to understand that, isn't it? >> with all the severe weather we've seen in recent years, a lot of people have invested in portable generators. but in every storm, homeowners do become seriously ill and some even die because of carbon monoxide poisoning from those generators. remember, generators do produce carbon monoxide. it's an odorless and colorless gas and it can kill. never use your generators indoors, or outside near a window or vent or air intake. it's important to keep generators dry, but you don't want to use one in a garage under any kind of porch. always use a heavy-duty outdoor extension cord from the generator to the appliances you want to run. overloading that extension cord will start a fire. now, a reminder about homeowners insurance. flood damage will not be covered if you don't have a flood insur
